Pursuant to CEC 94920(b) an institution must refund 100 percent of the amount paid for institutional charges, less a reasonable deposit or application fee not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250), if notice of cancellation is made through attendance at the first class session, or by the seventh class day after enrollment. AGU refunds 100% of all course charges upon request in writing up until midnight of the tenth day after registration for this course. A withdrawal may be effectuated by the student’s written notice or by the student’s conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student’s lack of attendance. If a student withdraws or cancels a course after midnight of the tenth day after registration for a course, the student will be subject to a one-time charge of $195.00 of the tuition during their enrollment in their educational program.

Students may receive a refund up to 7½ months after receipt of the course materials. After this date no refunds will be issued.

After the official drop period of ten days from the registration date, the student may withdraw from a course after instruction has started and receive a pro rata refund for the unused portion of the tuition and other refundable charges if the student has completed 60% or less of the instruction. For example, if the student completes only 30 hours of a 90-hour course and paid $975.00 tuition; after subtracting the one-time $195.00 registration fee, the student would receive a potential refund of $520.00.

NOTE: The State of California requires that the refund policy be expressed in clock hours of instruction, as above. An example of the policy expressed for distance education lessons completed would be: if the student completes only 10 lessons of a 30-lesson course and paid $975.00 tuition; after subtracting the one-time $195.00 registration fee, the student would receive a potential refund of $520.00.

CEC 94911(e)(2) states that if the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. However, AGU does not participate in federal and state financial aid programs.

If the school cancels or discontinues a course or educational program, the school will make a full refund of all charges. All refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.
